Stephanie Surtida | Fashion Illustrator

Once I discovered Stephanie on instagram, I have always been endlessly inspired by her beautiful and unique vision and creative creations of fashion and art. Stephanie studied at the Fashion Institute of Designing and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, where she graduated in 2008. From the year she graduated, she has been a trend forecaster, after realising this was the career she wants to pursue. It is inspiring and motivating to be able to see someone setting an example of doing what you love for a career and making dreams a reality.

What has been inspiring me for studying at FBI Fashion College in Sydney is the emphasis to love what you do, and do what you love. It’s a great word to live by, because life is about enjoyment, passion and making a positive difference. This can only be accomplished when we feel joy and satisfaction in what we do. We have a desire to work hard, work smart and work passionately when we have love for it. I love that in a digital world, we can observe, admire and soak in inspiration from others every day.
